Prospect primer: LB Manti Te'o, Notre Dame

Key stat: Recorded seven interceptions last season in finishing runner-up in the Heisman Trophy balloting. As a junior in 2011, posted his career highs in tackles for loss with 13 ½ and sacks with five.

Notable: Was projected as a possible first-round draft pick had he entered the draft last year, but projections are now all over the board after being the victim of an online, fake-girlfriend hoax in his final season at Notre Dame.
